Hey ZdoggMD, huge fan of your videos. First of all, how's Dr. Harry doing? Second, I'm a high school student right now who is really interested in becoming a primary care physician (with a subscription-based private practice just like Turntable, though in a more rural area), and would really like to go to a combined BA/MD program, but my Indian parents aren't entirely on board. They believe that primary care is going to be taken over by nurse practitioners and PAs, and think if I really want to do primary care I should just go to nursing school. Do you think the role of physicians in primary care is going to be on a downward trend, and do you still think that being a primary care physician is worth it, in terms of money and overall job satisfaction? Also, what do you think about IBM's Dr. Watson and the potential growth of automation in medicine?-Thanks
